Event description

Description

Craftsmanship is about mastery. High quality goods demand high prices because of the work, time and expense put into them. This is true of all crafts, and leatherwork is no exception. If your goal is to grow your skill or artistic practice, then you must continually challenge yourself to do better, and become more. To approach learning a new skill by thinking differently is the first step in living a full life of quality- thinking it is not a hobby, but a way of seeing the world . Our fine leatherworking workshop intensive will give students a taste of the dedication and ultimate reward of crafting your own goods by hand.

Our experienced instructor will teach students how to create a bespoke leather project by mastering intricate leather edges, including burnishing, painting and creasing, so they can build more refined and higher quality leather goods.

You’ll also use the same tools and materials as the best designers and makers today to create better projects than you ever have before. Learn tips and tricks needed to use those tools and materials effectively, allowing you to unlock the secrets of creating finely crafted leather edges. Each day we’ll apply the techniques you learn to a project that you can take home with you.
